Jack popped out of his day dream so suddenly that he startled himself. He was sitting on a cloud, the sun setting in front of him. The sky was pink and purple, it was beautiful. "Jack." A smooth voice was calling him, it was a woman's voice. "Jack." It sounded so familiar. So hypnotic, he turned around. "Cheryl!" he said, staring at his friend. She looked different, she had a silky white dress on, that shimmered in the sunlight. Her feet were bare, her blond hair was brushed back. A tiny white flower tucked behind her ear. She looked beautiful, in fact she made Jack feel pretty stupid in his jeans and white t-shirt. "Hello Jack, how are ya?" he forgotten about the fact that he was sitting on a cloud completely. "I'm fine, and you?" "Yes, I'm well." Jack smiled, he felt so weird, but he didn't know why. "You look really pretty." he said, wanting to break the awkward silence. Cheryl blushed, "Thank you." she said, with a wide smile. "And you look, well..." "Yeah I know like I just woke up." said Jack. She giggled. Cheryl walked over to him and sat down, she smiled at him. His brain felt like it was melting, he couldn't look at her with out feeling so, weird, he couldn't explain it. Why is she making me feel so... confused? "Isn't the sunset so beautiful? The sky with it's purple and pink highlights, it's so......" Cheryl bit her lip, like she was trying to stop herself from saying something embarrassing. "Romantic?" said Jack, it made his stomach lurch. "Uh huh." Cheryl said, she turned away. She turned back after a while, she looked kind of scared. "What's wrong?" He asked, reaching for her hand. "Nothing, I don't know, I feel so weird." He took hold of her hand and leaned in to kiss her cheek. She blushed and hugged him. "I do too, but it's okay, why don't we just watch the sunset?" Cheryl smiled. "Okay." She kissed him and then rested her head on his shoulder. They smiled and watch the sun set. After a while, everything began to blur, Cheryl disappeared, so did everything else. Jack woke up. "That was freaky."
